On the Waters Dark and Drear

On the wa­ters dark and drear

Jesus

Sav­ior

Thou art near

With our ship wher­e’er it roam

As with lov­ing friends at home.

Thou hast walked the heav­ing wave;

Thou art migh­ty still to save;

With one gen­tle word of peace

Thou canst bid the tem­pest cease.

Safely from the bois­ter­ous main

Bring us back to port again;

In our hav­en we shall be

Jesu

if we have but Thee.

Only by Thy pow­er and love

Fit us for the port ab­ove;

Still the dead­ly storm with­in

Gusts of pass­ion

waves of sin.

So

when breaks the glo­ri­ous dawn

Of the re­sur­rect­ion morn

When the night of toil is o’er

We shall see Thee on the shore.

Holy Fa­ther

Ho­ly Son

Holy Spir­it

Three in One

Praise un­end­ing un­to Thee

Now and ev­er­more shall be.
